Denied
The Board denied earlier effective dates for the grant of service connection for tinnitus and migraine headaches, as the Veteran's claims were not received prior to April 19, 2022.
The deciding factor: The Board found that there was no evidence of a formal or informal claim for service connection for tinnitus or migraine headaches prior to April 19, 2022, and thus denied earlier effective dates based on the date of the Veteran's initial claim for TBI.
